New Daily Driver has arrived....2013 FIAT Abarth

ZCarMan

They did come out with an ECU fix to address a low boost problem and it worked great. One guy lost boost because of the loose intercooler clamp while accelerating onto an onramp in traffic. Almost got crushed by a Mack truck. When the boost works properly, the FIAT actually pulls hard. Driving on the interstate was a breeze and getting 31MPG in sport mode was nice.

Yeah, its funny when you look at the sport or non sport FIAT compared against the performance boost you get with the Abarth. They are two completely different cars.

I remember I was going through the drive-thru at McDonalds and the manager was an older gentleman. He looked at the Abarth and said, "So, you got the J-Lo car eh? I about spit my coffee out of my mouth at him! LOL I told him, "No, not the J-Lo car but the hot Italian chick with the black and red dress car!
